Ummm.  Guys, I had a ride with Fred down the Champs Elysée
in the Blue Beast (Mk I), at somewhere around 150 Km/hr.
That was after we came off the Periphique (sp?) at some higher
rate of speed.

My survival was probably due to the quantities of Grand Marnier
I'd used for preparation before the ride  :-)

I think that was before the bumper stickers were made up ...
